  • our journey kicks off with a seemingly routine task-replacing a thermostatic Danfoss valve for a baseboard loop. Dive into the intricacies of this replacement, understanding the importance of precision and attention to detail in ensuring optimal system performance.
    As the day unfolds, we transition to a more complex task-rebuilding a leaking condensate pump for a commercial steam boiler. Witness the meticulous process of disassembling, repairing, and reconstructing this vital component. Gain insights into the troubleshooting skills required to identify and address the source of the leak, ensuring the longevity and efficiency of the condensate pump.
    The narrative reaches its climax with the installation of a roof-top unit inducer motor. Explore the challenges and triumphs of this rooftop endeavor, a task that requires not only technical expertise but also adaptability to varying conditions.
    Through this storytelling, my goal is to provide viewers with a firsthand experience of the diverse challenges encountered in the HVAC profession. Whether you're a seasoned professional seeking relatable experiences or an enthusiast eager to understand the intricacies of the field, this video promises an engaging and educational journey through the complexities of "Short Cycling Steam Boiler Condensate Pump Rebuild."

    If you carry a flat file you can and I do grind the tip as a gasket/machinist scraper which also works great for burr removal and (laid flat across the surface and moved in a circular motion by your palm) cleaning and flattening old gasket faces.
    Tip I invented when rebuilding my well pump: The rotor was seriously stuck on the shaft so I cut it (away from the steel rotor hub of course) then used a knotted wire wheel on my cordless angle grinder to brush off the remaining plastic quickly and easily leaving a nice shiny hub to grab with visegrips. I've also brushed off plastic power steering pump pulleys to replace them with steel using the same method. It's quick and clean. I install 6" angle grinder guards on my 4-1/2" cordless to use the VASTLY better 6" thin kerf cutting discs which have deeper reach and faster edge speed, either by finding a matching guard or cutting and welding one from two guards. Either way is well worth it or you can spend more on a 6" cordless but for light work smaller grinders are fine.
    I get most use out of knotted cup style wire brushes. I Loctite my pump bolts because Loctite also excludes moisture counterintuitively acting as anti-seize.

      Yea I’d say his job would do well to have a simple socket set. Maybe two, 1/2 inch and 3/4 inch sets. Or sockets and a cordless impact just to zip some bolts off. Something that could fit into his pack.

    Take caution when installing those mechanical pumps seals. Try NOT to touch the mating surfaces (the white part) any contaminates, or oils (hand oils) will stop the rotating seal from mating up properly with the stationary part of the seal..👍
